Digital camera reviews of Microsoft Wheel Optical Mouse
Digital camera Review: About as basic as you can get
Summary: 3 Stars
This is the new century's version of a good, basic functioning mouse. The two buttons and scroll wheel/button combo is pretty standard for computing these days, and I personally prefer the symmetrical MS design over their "Explorer" mice that look like they were molded from piece of clay that a right-handed person squeezed with his/her thumb.
An alternative, for a little bit more, is the Microsoft Comfort Mouse 3000, which adds a fourth, thumb button. Included with each is the IntelliPoint software which adds functionality and customization.
Digital camera Review: Absolutely great!
Summary: 5 Stars
This mouse works awesome. I haven't had a single problem with it. Fits comfortably in your hand, scolls quickly, absolutely no problems. Would definitely recommend.Digital camera Review: Absolutely no problems.
Summary: 5 Stars
Works like a charm. Easy to program. It's inexpensive but does what it's supposed to do.
Recommended.
Digital camera Review: Actually pretty cheap all-round..
Summary: 2 Stars
I know from some of the other reviews that this mouse COULD be kinda 'exciting' compared to an ancient 'ball mouse'.. (Does anyone even have one of those anymore?) But when it comes to our modern 'sensor-mice' of today? This thing is actually pretty so-so. (though for a quick $19 buck fix.. propably ok.)
Like some others have stated, I've noticed that the wheel and buttons are none-too precise. TOO 'sensitive' when you wouldn't like them to be.. and alternatively not quite so responsive at other times. The buttons and wheel do routinely 'click/move' themselves which can be a minor annoyance. On top of that.. the whole thing has a bit of a 'cheap flimsy' feel to it.. and the wheel likewise has a very cheap clunky feel to it (I kid not - It's like a wheel on a cereal-box toy) and broke down on mine after a few months. And as someone else mentioned? The BIG RED light on the back (the things 'snazziest feature') is actually pretty annoying come movie time or likewise. (I have to turn it around as well)
After having tried out this one Microsoft mouse?.. I'm actually perplexed why so many people think they're so great. Seriously, the mouse that came with my old HP (which I wouldn't have even thought much of at the time) - spun wheels around this piece of junk.. and lasted a HELL OF A LOT longer!
Sorry, put the only impression I got from trying this one Microsoft mouse - was never to bother buying another one from them again.
2 stars for an barely-average sensor mouse at a minimal $20 bucks. That's it.
Digital camera Review: Best mouse for everything even games
Summary: 5 Stars
I play video games and all i can say is that this mouse is so perfect to aim on a first shooter game, you should ask those very good players what type of mouse they're using and i bet they will say microsoft.
i had two more white mouses same model since 2003 and it lasted forever because i gave it away and i decided to buy a black one just for the looks of my desktop.
I recommend this mouse for all types of use, except drawing of course.
